Men’s Soccer Adds Elliott

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The WVU men’s soccer team has added to the 2013 recruiting class as coach Marlon LeBlanc has announced the addition of Jack Elliott.

"We are very pleased to add a student-athlete of Jack’s quality,” LeBlanc says. “He is an excellent addition and we expect that he will compete immediately for a spot at the center back position.”

A native of Norbury, London, England, Elliott is a defender for coach Andy Parkinson at Old Wilsonians Football Club while attending Wilson’s School.

At Wilson’s School, Elliott was the top goal scorer for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, as well as leading the team to a 20-2-2 record as team captain. During Elliott’s career, the team has won four District Cup championships and has been a three-time runner up in the County Cup.

“He is very technical, an intelligent player with and without the ball, he possesses good speed, and at 6-3, he has the physical tools to be a top level player,” LeBlanc adds.

With Old Wilsonians Football Club, Elliott is the youngest member on the first team and has helped the team to an 8-4-4 record thus far in 2012-13. He has played in 14 matches, starting 10.
